Argh! I can't post from my phone anymore for some reason! I could have really used ya'll's company while I was on my business trip this week. Now I can only post from my home computer which I hardly ever get to use. So if ya'll don't hear from me much that's why.

The shoes I have been running in are a few runs from retiring and New Balance is having a sale so I bought an extra pair. When I put the new ones away I found that I have 4 pairs in waiting, rather than 3. I only stock up when on sale.

And so... Tha plan was to go into town, have some lunch and Thing 1 gets a haircut. This we did, it just happened that there was a craft fair on cathedral green which is right up my street. After Thing 1 got new swishy hair the girls wanted to go to various clothes shops. I needed to go to the chemist, so I left Daddy to take the girls and we arranged to meet up later. Great choice for me because the chemist took minutes and because I hate shopping I then found an old church which has been converted to a bar. Clever mum did her bit and then relaxed with a cold beer.

I know that Brits are sort of known as being standoffish but every time I go into a bar, someone comes up to me and starts a conversation. I spent a happy half hour chatting to strangers and feeling like I used to do before hubby and kids, as some guys flirted etc. After that interlude I was more than happy to meet D and the girls in the car park for him to drive home, knowing that despite all the mundane things that come with the package of marriage and kids, they are absolutely my life and the people I love to bits.

Not happy with myself this morning! The sleep bug got me and I didn't get my run or my Spartan training in this morning! Now it must be completed in 90+ degrees! Will definitely find that lake along the way, or a water facet!!

After yesterday's hill workout in mid-80s, you have my full sympathy...
